Anyone else having this problem? Metadata related?

I am having a strange problem with my T1. I am not an expert, and don't know if it can be a T1 bug, or related to the way Calibre (that I'm using) manages metadata, or if I may be doing something wrong altogether... So probably this might not be the right forum to post it in the first place: Sorry if it isn't.

To start with I have noticed (... at least...) two strange issues: first, that some times the "Continue reading" entry in the the front menu doesn't update as it should. It insists in showing a given book, even if I start reading another one. And, second, that some books' "Info" page (the page that appears when tapping & holding on the book's thumbnail) is completely blank, showing no metadata at all, even if that book is an apparently well-formed epub with correct metadata.

On a second stage I have verified that both problems are linked: For some reason, those books that show no metadata in the info page are the ones not "admitted" in the "Continue reading" list.

I had a quick look to a sample of those "problem" books with Sigil, and they looked roughly OK. However, using Epub Metadata Editor all of them (the ones that dont display metadata, and don't appear al "Continue Reading") have someting in common, that the others don't: They (of course) have a "Title" field, but the corresponding "File as" field is empty. I filled that "File as" field in a few cases, resent them to the T1 and they behaved as expected.

Any ideas, anyone?
